For =boribaby's contest to draw one of her characters in a element. I choosed to draw Aerynne in the earth element.

When I think of the earth element I think of lots of nature and life and since Aerynne has the perfect haircolor for it I made her mane sprout leaves. Boribaby is also a big fan of butterflies so it was a must to paint a couple, infact Aerynne is ¾ of a horse breed called Papillio so the picture would not have been completed without them!

This is only my second attempt to paint a (semi)realistic horse! I still need to work a lot to find myself with this style but I learn so much every time I use it, even if it takes forever to finish stuff like this. Glad I didn't miss the deadline because of it. XDIf I continue to practice maybe I'll learn to paint faster.

I've always absolutely adored this piece. You've drawn Aerynne looking so amazingly natural in her environment I just can't stare at it for long enough! Now off to see if you're open for commission! Beautiful work <3

Don't worry, I put the names of every artist whose work is involved in the video description. Every piece of work is acknowledged, and they're all posted just the way they are, without any markings or corrections from me. I just hope it was okay that I used this.

Oh my gosh, absoloutly breathtaking! I love all the creativity and the 'semi-realisticness' to it! Her muzzle actually looks like you can reach out and touch it I must learn how to do digital like this, since I'm new to it (I got a tablet and photoshop about a month ago) I'm sure it will take some time Litterally gobsmacked right now! (In a good way ^^')

If I had had the time to do more elements for the contest I probably would have done atleast one more. I really like elemental drawings but so far I have no plans on any more of them. Thanks for the suggestions though
